Seven players involved for this Saturday qualifying tour:

2) Serial Renny also missed out the last tour due to work commitment is determined to beat his close rival (Smiley). His previous DRM win at RBGCC will boost his confidence for the BOTB if he gets through the qualifying round. 3) Fairway Artist (Mr 101) Rahim, one of DRM co-founder will be aiming to get in the BOTB mainly to face his main nemesis Gold Buaya aka Tiger Wood “D”.
4) Pg Woody Shamhary, will kick anyone once his woods start to fire up. 5) Real Deal Rafali has been out of shape this past few weeks, just missing out the cut after failing to perform in RBGCC. He will be playing in his favourite course (PGC) for the qualifying round. 6) Hj Loan Shark Rahim, bad mojo have exorcist his golf career since joining DRM Golf Tour. Hopefully he will be in good shape for this upcoming qualifying round.7) Last but not to forget, Pg the Coach Ahmad, in his rookie season will be trying his best to overcome his nerve to reach the final stage of the season. Entrances from the other DRM Golfers who are in this season tour are still welcome to participate in the qualifying round
Rookie Prodigy Lai held his nerve to win the season-ending DRM 12th Monthly Medal Overall by two shots in RBGCC, Jerudong, on Saturday.
The Prodigy carded 2 birdies and 10 pars to earn his place for next years spot in the DRM Golf Tour.
Red Knights Board of Director, Ang Swee Meng, who closed to within two shots, ended with a nett score of 80 for second place.
The highlights of the day….
The pre BOTB Tour $3.0M event featured a starting field of 30 that was trimmed to 28 after withdrawal of the Serial and Abdullah Nawi was a tight battle for everyone.
The Recruit, determined since joining the DRM Tour finally produced one of his best game ever, scoring a nett score of 81 and scooping the inaugural DRM Champion.
And the Recruit became the first golfer to trail the field by a wide margin (12 strokes). With the win he automatically confirmed his spot for the upcoming BOTB.
Recruit outclassed the DRM field scoring 1 birdie and 4 pars enough to put his name on the DRM Challenge Trophy. His closest rival on that day was Mad Cat, scoring a nett score of 94, also managed to confirm his spot for the BOTB this December.
"He deserved this title, and he has almost won the tour several time but it seems today was his day" Mad Cat said.
"This is just the perfect way to end a great first year for me on tour, and confirm my spot for the BOTB" recruit quoted after the game.
Real Deal and the Gold Tee Maniac got a smacked in the face and woken up to reality, after producing their worst results of the year. GT who only managed to produce ONE par on that day was forced to eat his word (after self declaring his handicap to 4) after finishing with a nett score of 96.
Fairway Artist (Mr 101) returned after a long spell of rest also managed to scoop some prize money in the DRM Top 10 but not enough to clinch an automatic spot for the BOTB. Satisfied with his performance, he outclassed his rivals Gold Buaya and Hardcore Hitter.
The Coach also shared his winning with DRM Baby Faced Assasin (Amy) tied on 9th place. Both will feature in this Saturday’s qualifying round for BOTB.
Prize Money List Leaderboard was also finalized on that day (see below), with the Golf Freak taking advantage of the absence of LOTP and taking back the Number 1 spot for prize Money ranking of the season.

Good Luck to EVERYONE!!! And Play For Fun!!
The Terengganuian, fired a final-round 83 for the day to snatch the SEN/CONTRACTOR Tour last Saturday.
It was GT's second victory in two weeks in a row that has shaken DRM number one LOTP who played one of his abnormal game ousting a 66 gross score at the Empire Golf Club’s front nine.
Other DRM players who participated on that day was RD, Ilan Jeev and the tactician.
GT began his wonderful hot form after winning the Panaga November Division B Monthly Medal and elegantly showed everyone when he managed to play 36 at PGC front 9 prior to the tour.
GT is also confident on his chances on the upcoming DRM Battle of the Bridges. He even self declared his DRM handicap to 4 (which is currently 6)
"Latest news, I will again be entering HSBC 'World' Tour Championship this week. At my tip top drive condition, I believe will again easily 'ngap' the humongous championship trophy. After that, we will take tournament break till BOTB at Jerudong/Mentiri/Eastwood/Panaga/KGM where ever not to be worried.
"I will also declare my handicap to 4, if that also I win…… there must something wrong with the other DRM players….." GT’s quote after his remarkable win.The other DRM Players are yet to see him in action since his last DRM tour in August.
DRM Golf duo Gold Tee Maniac and Gold Buaya scooped another victory outside DRM Tour last Sunday.
GT unsurprisingly won the PGC Division ‘B’ Champion trophy with an excellent nett score of 69. Despite the long fasting break, GT have shown his tremendous determination to grab the BOTB title to prove to everyone on his golf excellence.
GB, well known for his ability to hustle using his high PGC handicap, deservedly won the Division “D” runner up trophy. He showed his consistencies by finishing with a nett score of 71.
Other DRM Golfers playing on that day were:
Real Deal, still not awakened from the long golf break produced one of his abysmal golf career resulting with a nett score of 86.
Ilan ‘Jeev Milka Singh”, played one of his best game with a satisfying nett score of 76, just shy of 6 strokes to beat GB.
LOTP, 3 times DRM Champion still struggling to find his magic putting strokes can only finish with a nett score of 76, not enough to challenge the field on the day.
Last but not least, the Golf Freak outclassed by the heat and loss of form, was struggling on every shots only managed to end with a nett score of 74.
Who will qualify to play for the DRM Golf 2-days Grand Finale BOTB this coming December?
